i said my bit about this.

i would rather that they continue to pass emergency legislation than do what they're doing, but i'm not interpreting this as a power grab. rather, this is the consequence of electing a fat, lazy piece of shit.

no, really - the reason this is happening is just simply because doug ford is too lazy to do it the right way. and, we should be grateful that he's so fucking lazy, too.

so, i would have voted against this as well, but i'm not particularly freaked out about it - so long as we all make sure to hold him to his sunset clause, when it comes up. that's key.

this is just a reminder that i supported the mcguinty government for years, and was broadly supportive of the wynne government, although i don't think i actually voted for them directly.

when i was in ottawa, i voted for yasir naqvi (who i interpreted as an atheist) on several occasions. i didn't vote in 2014 because i had just moved here but i voted for the green party in 2018, due to concerns about some of the messaging around marijuana from the wynne campaign, which i interpreted as a desperate embrace of racist messaging.

so, i voted green to give the liberals a time-out.

...despite being very aware that the riding was not seriously in play.
